Migrating wires as a result of sternal nonunion present clinical challenges. Cardiac Computed Tomographic Angiography helps locate these wires precisely, enabling detailed surgical planning. Sternal wire migration is an infrequent complication following median sternotomy. It is usually encountered among patients with sternal dehiscence. Understanding the location and spatial relationships of structures to the wire can be challenging. (64 slice) with high spatial and temporal resolution affords the possibility of enhancing presurgical planning.
